What is HACCP? Guide for Gulbarga (Kalaburagi) Manufacturers

By Ajinkya Shevale · 7 min read ·

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes. For food manufacturers in Gulbarga (Kalaburagi), implementing HACCP is not just a best practice—it's often a prerequisite for FSSAI Central Licensing and international exports.

The 7 Principles of HACCP

  1. Conduct a Hazard Analysis: Identify potential hazards (biological, chemical, physical).
  2. Identify Critical Control Points (CCPs): Points where hazards can be prevented or eliminated.
  3. Establish Critical Limits: Maximum/minimum values to which a hazard must be controlled.
  4. Establish Monitoring Procedures: Planned sequence of observations to assess if a CCP is under control.
  5. Establish Corrective Actions: Procedures followed when a deviation occurs.
  6. Establish Verification Procedures: Activities that determine the validity of the HACCP plan.
  7. Establish Record-Keeping Procedures: Documentation of the HACCP system and its performance.

To ensure 100% compliance, manufacturers should integrate these principles into their core Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS).
